Online demo of next gen image resizing method
Remember that crazy image resizing method that can change a photo without dramatically altering its composition?

But in the meantime, Patrick Swieskowski has used the basic principles demonstrated in Avidan's video and created a web-based demo.
The demo is very unpolished compared with the software in the video. For example, you can only shrink images, you can't make them larger. And we're not convinced that it does a great job of finding the best places to cut because some of the shrunken pictures look downright silly. But it'll have to tide us over until someone develops a better web-based demo. Or a finished application. That would be nice too.
